Class PublicKey

constructor

• new PublicKey(value): PublicKey

• Create a new PublicKey object

  Parameters

  • value: PublicKeyInitData

    ed25519 public key as buffer or base-58 encoded string

  Returns PublicKey

Static default

equals

• equals(publicKey): boolean

• Checks if two publicKeys are equal

  Parameters

  • publicKey: PublicKey

  Returns boolean

toBase58

• toBase58(): string

• Return the base-58 representation of the public key

  Returns string

toBuffer

• toBuffer(): Buffer

• Return the Buffer representation of the public key

  Returns Buffer

toBytes

• toBytes(): Uint8Array

• Return the byte array representation of the public key

  Returns Uint8Array

toJSON

• toJSON(): string

• Returns string

toString

• toString(): string

• Return the base-58 representation of the public key

  Returns string

Static createProgramAddress

• createProgramAddress(seeds, programId): Promise<PublicKey>

• Async version of createProgramAddressSync For backwards compatibility

  Parameters

  • seeds: (Uint8Array | Buffer)[]
  • programId: PublicKey

  Returns Promise<PublicKey>

  Deprecated

  Use createProgramAddressSync instead

Static createProgramAddressSync

• createProgramAddressSync(seeds, programId): PublicKey

• Derive a program address from seeds and a program ID.

  Parameters

  • seeds: (Uint8Array | Buffer)[]
  • programId: PublicKey

  Returns PublicKey

Static createWithSeed

• createWithSeed(fromPublicKey, seed, programId): Promise<PublicKey>

• Derive a public key from another key, a seed, and a program ID. The program ID will also serve as the owner of the public key, giving it permission to write data to the account.

  Parameters

  • fromPublicKey: PublicKey
  • seed: string
  • programId: PublicKey

  Returns Promise<PublicKey>

Static findProgramAddress

• findProgramAddress(seeds, programId): Promise<[PublicKey, number]>

• Async version of findProgramAddressSync For backwards compatibility

  Parameters

  • seeds: (Uint8Array | Buffer)[]
  • programId: PublicKey

  Returns Promise<[PublicKey, number]>

  Deprecated

  Use findProgramAddressSync instead

Static findProgramAddressSync

• findProgramAddressSync(seeds, programId): [PublicKey, number]

• Find a valid program address

  Valid program addresses must fall off the ed25519 curve. This function iterates a nonce until it finds one that when combined with the seeds results in a valid program address.

  Parameters

  • seeds: (Uint8Array | Buffer)[]
  • programId: PublicKey

  Returns [PublicKey, number]

Static isOnCurve

• isOnCurve(pubkeyData): boolean

• Check that a pubkey is on the ed25519 curve.

  Parameters

  • pubkeyData: PublicKeyInitData

  Returns boolean

Static unique

• unique(): PublicKey

• Returns a unique PublicKey for tests and benchmarks using a counter

  Returns PublicKey
